You can solve quadratic equations in 3 short, easy, and simple steps !
The first step in solving quadratic inequalities is taking a inequality like " y > 2x^2 " and turning it into a equation by replacing the inequality sign with an equal sign.
so " y > 2x^2 " turns into " y = 2x^2 "
The third step would be to choose a test point, in or outside the parabola.
Let's use the test point ( 2, 0 ) . You plug the test point into the inequality.
y > 2x^2
0 > 2(2)^2
0 > 2(4)
0 > 8 <-- This is false : 0 is not greater than 8.
The last step would be to shade in the side (whether the inside of the parabola or outside the parabola).
* where ever your test point is, if it is true you shade the whole thing . If it is false than you should the opposite * .
The final answer to the inequality is the shaded area
NOW TRY IT YOURSELF :
USING THE INEQUALITY : " y > x^2 - 1 "
